Avoid These Image Formatting Mistakes In Your Content For Maximum Exposure

Every writer wants their content to go viral, but many of them don’t even recognize these image formatting mistakes that keep their articles from getting noticed…

It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words, but when it is used inappropriately, the message may not be conveyed and visitors or readers will lose their interest in your writing.

Every writer, whether new or experienced, wants to earn hundreds to thousands of dollars per week. However, not all of them know that images are as important in an article as words or sentences.

If you are new to this platform or the writing industry and are looking for ways to write viral content, you must avoid these image formatting mistakes.

1. Images Without Optimization

So many writers use images without optimizing them properly for the website. Your pages will load slowly if images are not optimized. So, the best idea is to find the right kind of image, to resize it, and to optimize it.

Let me give you an example; if the file size is in megabytes (MB), or kilobytes (KB), then this needs to be changed. Remember that an image with 1200 x 800 pixels will be too big for your web page to load properly. The chance is that you will lose so many visitors, as they won’t like being distracted by heavy or large-sized images.

2. Not Aware Of The Resolution Of Images

One of the biggest mistakes writers make is that they do not develop an understanding of what resolution is. Resolution can determine how good or bad the quality of an image is.

If you choose a high-resolution photo, then it will be clearer and more engaging than a low-resolution photo. It’s safe to say that most of the devices we use have screens that can adjust resolutions automatically. This means you will have a limited or no control over how a photo is going to appear.

In case you decide to use a program, tool, or software to adjust the resolution, let us tell you that a resolution of 72 PPI is called the standard for acceptable-quality photos. Writers who want their content to reach mobile, tablet, and laptop users simultaneously should keep the resolution from 72 PPI to 120 PPI.

3. Using Distorted Photos

It is integral to scale every photo proportionally. One of the reasons why your images look distorted is that they have been stretched out of proportion and are trying to fill the space unnecessarily.

In order to solve this problem, you should go with the original proportion of an image. If you are trying to scale it down or up, make sure the width and length are not increased.
